This month, the northern lights really haven’t been on our side. Seeing auroras requires several factors to align at the same time — solar activity alone does not guarantee a spectacular sky. Cloud cover, snowfall, and low clouds can easily block the view completely, even when auroras are active above the clouds.
It’s also important to remember that aurora apps and forecasts don’t tell you exactly what’s happening in the sky. No one never can tell what’s gonna happen! Those can only indicate potential and general solar activity — not promises. The northern lights are always nature’s own performance: sometimes they fill the entire sky for hours, and sometimes there’s barely anything to see, even when the forecast looks great. That’s why we never promise auroras because its out of our hands. In the end, the auroras either appear — or they don’t.
When the sky is clear, we always head to the cabin and hope for the best! Cloudy days we cancel and you get refund. And if, despite good forecasts, nothing appears in the sky, we come up with something else to do. It might be snowmobiling, sledding, pulling power cards, melting tin — you name it!
In this video, we had exactly one of those evenings where the lights didn’t show despite a clear sky. Instead, we enjoyed other moments at the cabin. Do you know what we’re doing in the video? If you do, leave a comment below!✨
